Servings 1 X 470ml tub

Ingredients
  

  • 80-100 g caster sugar superfine or regular white sugar
  • 150 g water
  • 250 g Flora plant cream (see notes)
  • 1-2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract (see notes)
  • Tiny pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Combine the sugar and water in a medium mixing bowl. Once most of the sugar has dissolved (this should happen quickly, particularly if you use caster sugar) add the remaining ingredients and whisk to combine.
  • Decant the mixture into your 470ml Ninja Creami tub. Place it in the freezer with the lid off for 24 hours.
  • When you are ready to make the ice cream, place it in the machine and process on the ice cream setting. It should come out perfectly the first go, but respin if you have a chalky texture.
  • Return leftovers to the freezer with the lid on.

Notes

  • Flora plant cream in Australia contains the following ingredients: The Australian version uses the following ingredients: 'Lentil milk (water, lentil Protein (1%)), vegetable oils (coconut, canola),sugar, modified corn starch, emulsifiers (sunflower lecithin, sugar esters of fatty acids, mono and diglycerides of fatty acids), stabilisers (guar gum, locust bean gum), natural flavourings, salt, colour (beta-carotene).
  • It contains 31g fat per 100ml. This is the fat ratio and rough ingredients list you are looking for in other vegan plant creams. See the body of the post for alternatives I have found in other places - namely the USA and the UK. 
  • I have found that vanilla bean paste seems to sink to the bottom of the mixture when using vegan cream. You can experiment with using vanilla extract (which should weigh the same as the cream and hopefully suspend in the mixture. Alternatively, you could try adding the vanilla bean paste to the top of the frozen ice cream just prior to processing it. 
  • I have noticed (from extensive testing) that eating a large amount of this ice cream in one go will leave a bit of a coating on the roof of your mouth. This is just the nature of vegan plant cream. I'd say the solution is to eat less, but I think the solution is really just to accept it :)
